Absolutely.
That’s my take, too.

This stupid ‘Congressional Lookie-See’ needs to be stopped.

...In a separate letter, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein chastised Comey for holding a press conference last summer to announce the FBI would not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton.

“The Director was wrong to usurp the Attorney General’s authority on July 5, 2016, and announce his conclusion that the case should be closed without prosecution. It is not the function of the Director to make such an announcement...”

Trump should put on a Darth Vader costume, come on FR, point his finger at many on here and simply say, “I find your lack of faith disturbing”...

See post #168 - it’s all about Clinton & Lynch.

(As it should be.)

Your are right, he used a “mistake” concerning the leftists’ pet peeve that Comey’s letter concerning classified emails on pervert Weiner’s laptop caused Hillary the election. Master stroke! How can they complain when he fired him concerning false testimony concerning that bombshell letter? LOL!

President Trump is rolling like a BOSS and playing 5D chess!

A shudder just went up and down where their spines would be in the worthless left wing leftovers from Obama’s Deep Staters in DC.

Comey had become a bsing Comedy with severe mental and ethical problems!

In a letter to Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that he agreed.

“I have concluded that a fresh start is needed at the leadership of the FBI,’’ Sessions wrote. “I must recommend that you remove Director James B. Comey, Jr. and identify an experienced and qualified individual to lead the great men and women of the FBI.’’

I wonder what Hillary is thinking right about now.

Dooms day.

 

Publically, she blamed Comey for costing her the election. Privately? Someone upthread suggested she is filling her Depends - knowing that Indictments against her and Comey (and Lynch and Obama) will soon be forthcoming as all of these liars have committed multiple felonies over the years.

Just saw the National news coming on and they are spinning it that Trump fired Comey in the middle of investigation into collusion between Trump and Russians in 2016 Campaign. That thing has been debunked and yet the slant I knew would be there.

James Comey is an Obama stooge and a dirty dealer.

Hope he got plenty of incriminating statements from him before tossing him in the bin.
